I don't have an issue keeping my car clean. I find washing it therapeutic and sometimes do it twice a week. I've had jet black before and that paint is as soft as butter and scratches very easy. Ok thanks for the nudge guys. BSM it is!!!!

The upkeep doesn't bother me. I'm used to maintenance- hair, nails, car wash.

I have to admit black is the best color. But I am WAY too lazy for it.

Lol. I'm not a huge fan of LBB, contrary to 50%+ of the M2 buyers out there. If it was interlagos or Santorini or even Yas marina blue, I would've seriously considered it.

LBB doesn't do much for me either. So thrilled with my MG choice but BSM is a very close second.

I kind of regret not getting the car in Black. I had this vision for it, black M2 with AW trunk spoiler and AW mirror caps

Love the color so much. Picked the car up today inside the service bay, under the lights there is a nice blue in the color. Future owner pictured.

I just noticed the M2's outside of the US don't come with front reflectors. That's nice for those won't don't like the orange.

For $175 you can "kinda" remove them.

Black with orange I think looks fine. Blue with orange not so much.
